Performance management software is a technology that helps companies better understand their employees’ performance and productivity. It allows leadership and managers to easily track, analyze and evaluate workers, ensuring goals are met or trending issues are addressed preemptively. The resulting performance management data can inform compensation, career trajectory, company goals, hiring decisions, performance reviews and just about anything that relates to human capital management.

In 2016, our research with HR.com unveiled that only 10% of recruiting professionals feel their applicant tracking system helps them hire better people. It’s with this knowledge that we at ClearCompany have continued to develop our product suite to help our thousands of clients find, hire and retain better talent.

Nowadays, the term “performance review” inspires chills in the spines of managers and executives alike. The practice has become a bit taboo as more and more reports express just how little they’re appreciated and even how they hinder the productivity and satisfaction of employees.
